Noblesse oblige (n.) From French, "nobility obligates." Refers to the unwritten obligation of noble people to act honorably and generously towards others.
One acts honorably and nobly because honor and nobility are characters of oneself; because this is what one is. Therefore, one acts honorably because of some inner principle, regardless of whether the other person deserves it or not (usually he/she doesn't).
The mind is its own place, and in itself Can make a heav’n of hell, a hell of heav’n. What matter where, if I be still the same, And what I should be, all but less than he Whom thunder hath made greater? Here at least We shall be free: Here we may reign secure, and in my choice To reign is worth ambition, though in hell; Better to reign in hell than serve in heav’n.
— Paradise Lost, by John Milton

Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies. • The heart of her husband safely trusts her. • She opens her mouth with wisdom, and on her tongue is the law of kindness. • Her children rise up and call her blessed. • Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised. • Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her own works praise her in the gates.

You can tell that a painting is a caravaggio by its use of light & shadow, and it's anatomical accuracy (and his overuse of pretty boys as models)

هواي من الرؤوس المقطوعة بلوحاته جانت تحمل وجه الرسام نفسه.
كارافاجيو مات بعدما تأذى من عركة وية كم واحد (جانت مشاكله هواي)، بوقتها صارت بيه حمى ومات بعمر الـ 38.
